I'll soon be upgrading from a Powermac G5 to a Mac-mini. I'd like to know what cables/adapters I'll need to connect an Apple cinema display 23" flat panel....and also my television via HDML (for mirroring).

The Mini DV to DVI connector comes with the Mac Mini, one caveat it's just pressure-fit so make sure the DVI connector is supported on a flat surface not and not dangled off the desk/shelf if it's in a house where it's in danger of a pet/child running into it.

It seems to make sense but I haven't connected mine to a TV (My HTPC is a windows based computer). I have read on other message boards some TV's just don't like the adapter (I forget which one but it wasn't the major brands ie Panasonic/Samsung/Sony/LG).

I agree with Smithcraft that the dual link DVI adapter is not the proper connector for any HD TV that I know of so I would check the TV connector options carefully. Only a select few high res monitors use a dual link DVI cable, and I can only think of two, with one being Apple's ridiculously over-priced monitor.

As far as I know, the mini Displayport does not provide audio, so you would need something like this adapter to get 5.1 out to a receiver. Or a regular stereo mini jack to get stereo out to speakers.

What would we do with out Monoprice.com? My mother was running her new 32" LG HD TV off of the old RCA A/V cable that she used to connect her DirecTV receiver up to her OLD 27" Sanyo tube television. It hurt so bad watching TV at her house that I jumped on her computer and suggested that she get a HDMI cable to connect the receiver to the television. She got the cable in the mail and installed it and admitted that the picture looked "much better." I think the only reason she ordered the cable was because the Radio Shack dealer in "town" wanted $39.00 a 6' HDMI cable and Monoprice.com had a 6' for $9.00.

I use a DVI-HDMI cable from Monoprice to connect my Mac Mini to my 1080p HDTV and Mini Display port -HDMI adapter also from Monoprice to connect to my 26" Samsung T260HD monitor/TV using a HDMI cable. I view 1900x1080 on my HDTV and 1920x1200 on my T260HD in dual monitor mode and it works great._________________2.26Ghz Mac Mini , 4GB DDR3, 320GB int and 4.5TB ext FW800 HDs
